\u2018 Cnoc Tuagh \u2018, meaning \u2018the hill of the axes\u2019; was a defining moment in our history.<br \/>\nIt pitched Ulick Finn Burke, 3rd Earl of Clanrickard, against Gerald Fitzgerald, the Earl of Kildare.<\/p>\n<p>Ulick Burke was of the de Burgo clan; the Anglo-Norman clan who had attacked the town of Galway c. 1230. Like many other Anglo-Norman families, over time, the de Burgos adopted Irish ways and habits, marrying amongst the native Irish, and speaking the Irish language. Over time, they became more Irish than the Irish themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Ulick Burke had attempted to take control of neighbouring territories, including the county of Mayo, where the other branch of the de Burgo family held power. He tried to wield power over the province of Connacht; attacking and destroying the castles of other leading families. This eventually put him in direct conflict with Gerald Fitzgerald, the Earl of Kildare.<\/p>\n<p>Gerald Fitzgerald, known as Gearoid Mor, was the Lord Deputy of Ireland; the King\u2019s envoy to govern Ireland on his behalf. The King\u2019s deputy became concerned with Burke\u2019s attempt to gain supremacy in Connacht. When Burke took up the occupation of the town of Galway, the Earl of Kildare, as the King\u2019s representative in Ireland, was forced to act.<\/p>\n<p>The armies met on the slopes of Knockdoe; with Gallowglass warriors playing a big part in each army. Knockdoe, \u2018Cnoc Tuagh\u2019- the Hill of the Axes &#8211; is from the use of the Gallowglass axes during the battle, making this one of the bloodiest battles in Irish medieval history.<\/p>\n<p>Fitzgerald and his allies numbered around 6,000; while Burke\u2019s forces amounted to 4,000 men. The chief loss of life was among the group of mercenary Gallowglass warriors who were employed on both sides. In the end, Burke\u2019s men were decimated by Fitzgerald\u2019s forces. The battle lasted all day, with casualties estimated at least 4,000 persons. Fitzgerald, the King\u2019s deputy, emerged victorious. The next day, he and his army marched to Galway. The coat of arms of Fitzgerald, Earl of Kildare, were placed on the castle \/ tower house of the Lynch family; today known as Lynch\u2019s Castle AIB bank in Galway.<\/p>\n<p>It is also believed that firearms were used in the course of this battle, one of the first instances of firearms being used in Ireland.<br \/>\nOn this day, 19 August, 1504; the battle of Knockdoe took place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ian Brophy On this Day\u2026\u2026.19 August.
